JONATHAN K. YOUNGWOOD: Well, good afternoon, everyone. Welcome back from lunch. And those of you here in New York, I hope you didn't get too wet. I did get wet, because I went outside, and it's raining.
So we've progressed from the investigation. We've had a complaint filed. We've gone through discovery. We've discussed expert issues, class certification issues. And lo and behold, the case is still going.
We're going to assume for this that discovery-- ...

LYLE ROBERTS: Thanks, everyone. Welcome back to our final panel of the day, which is on ethical issues and complex securities litigation. And I know it's late in the day, but I can assure you that this is probably the most important panel you will hear all day, because one thing our panelists will do is help you, especially if you're a practicing lawyer, how to avoid a lot of pitfalls that people are falling into as they handle these cases, and frankly, ...

Going all the way starting ...

LYLE ROBERTS: Great, thank you. So our first panel will talk about what to do when all of these facts hit you at a company like Blue Sky. And we have a very illustrious panel here for you today. I won't say just how illustrious, because I'd take up the whole hour doing that. But you can see all of that, of course, in the bios in your material.
But just a very brief introduction. Adam Hakki from Shearman & Sterling, Jon Tuttle from Debevoise, Katie ...

LYLE ROBERTS: Thanks everyone. Welcome back from our break. I wanted to start with our next panel. So in our last panel, we heard about the motion to dismiss process.
And we're going to have to assume now that motion to dismiss did not work out for the defense. And the case, at least in part if not in full, is moving forward. And so, you know, logically what are next steps in a civil litigation like this? It's looking at class certification, discovery, ...
